摘要
A method is described for the rapid purification of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase sigma-70 holoenzyme from Escherichia coli. The essential step in this protocol involves the differential elution of sigma-70 holoenzyme from core polymerase on a heparin-Sepharose column. Using a linear gradient of KCl, holoenzyme was found to elute at 0.25M whereas core polymerase eluted at 0.35 M. From 20 g of cells, up to 1 mg of RNA polymerase holoenzyme could be isolated in two days. The preparations were greater than 95% pure with respect to protein, and saturated with the sigma subunit. © 1991.
